Soon after the start of the war in Ukraine, Russia stopped publishing official data on its military losses. Despite that, analysts from independent media still manage to extract data from multiple sources, such as regional obituaries, payments, satellite images, and other open-source intelligence resources. How did Mediazona, a civil rights media outlet, become a leading source of data on Russia's losses? How reliable is the data, and what does it tell us? Will the growing military casualties ever lead to a public backlash in Russia?You can read Mediazona's analysis here: https://en.zona.media/article/2025/04/25/casualties_eng-trlIf you would like to support Mediazona's work, you can make a donation here: https://donate.zona.media/en?utm_source=header-web&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=regular
In this I'm breaking down the surprising truth about co-ops versus condos in New York City real estate. While co-ops are known as the more affordable option with lower purchase prices, I'll show you the shocking math that reveals they actually require MORE income and cash on hand than their pricier condo counterparts. Through a detailed side-by-side comparison of a $1M co-op and $1.25M condo, I'll expose how co-op down payment requirements, debt-to-income ratios, and post-closing liquidity demands dramatically change the affordability equation.About the Host:Christina Kremidas is a lifelong New Yorker who brings her extensive background in advertising to her successful real estate career in Manhattan.

In this conversation, Benjamin Suggs discusses the importance of understanding the annual production value of a new patient in a dental practice. He explains how to calculate this value and its significance in determining the return on investment (ROI) for dental marketing efforts. Suggs emphasizes the need for accurate data analysis and provides a step-by-step guide on how to derive meaningful insights from collections and patient acquisition costs. The discussion highlights the importance of making informed marketing decisions based on calculated ROI.Chapters00:00 Understanding the Value of a New Patient02:46 Calculating Patient Value and ROI06:04 Making Informed Marketing DecisionsTakeawaysMost dentists can't answer the annual production value of a new patient.Calculating the value of a new patient requires data analysis.The production value should be assessed over a 12-month period.Collections, not production, determine the actual revenue.Understanding patient value helps in evaluating marketing ROI.Use dental software to track patient numbers and collections.A ballpark figure for new patient value is useful for decision-making.Calculate ROI by comparing marketing costs to patient value.Data-driven decisions enhance marketing strategies.Investing in training can improve patient acquisition rates.Dentist SpotlightInspirational Smiiles Orthodonticshttps://orthodontistcumming.comLocations:Downtown Cumming: https://g.co/kgs/gfPHsXiSouth Forsyth: https://g.co/kgs/1Q61QYpSmarter Dental Marketing.

Before you hire, launch, or invest, there's one number you need to know: your future break-even point. It's more than a “boring” accounting term; it's one of the most powerful tools you have in your toolkit as a business owner and CEO. In this episode, Danielle Hayden, reformed corporate CFO and CEO of Kickstart Accounting, Inc., flips the script on how entrepreneurs look at their break-even point by turning it from a financial checkmark into a forward-thinking strategy tool. She walks through how to use it as a launchpad for smarter decisions and puts you in control of your numbers. Key Takeaways: Break-Even as a Planning Tool: Knowing your break-even point helps you look forward, not backward, and make strategic choices with confidence. Know Your Break-Even Before Big Decisions: Calculate how your expenses will change first and then what new revenue you'll need to cover them. Turn Your New Break-Even into Your Revenue Goal: Add a 10–15% profit margin to your break-even number to set a clear, sustainable monthly revenue target. Create a Margin of Safety: If you're not ready to make a leap, build savings in advance so you're financially prepared to take on new expenses with confidence.

This is a REPOST from Episode 43 in Season 1.HCP - 46 - “10 Signs of Being a Narcissistic Pastor”Though it's easy to point fingers at others, who you may think have this issue, we should probably look in the mirror first. The original sin is PRIDE. It got Lucifer kicked out of Heaven and Adam and Eve removed from Eden. It can also ruin your life and church. Though we all appreciate those moments as leaders in the church where someone says “we don't know what we'd do without you”, we should be careful to start “believing our own press”. In this podcast Larry and Drew discuss their own struggles with pride and how dangerous the issue of Narcissism can be in the heart of leaders and even effect your church.This conversation is built around the frame work of an article by Charles Stone found on CharlesStone.Com (link below). Stone gives 10 thoughtful considerations of possible signs in leaders who might be Narcissistic. The 10 Signs of Being a Narcissistic Pastor or Leader:Rage if he experiences shame for shame exposes his true self.An inordinate need for praise in order to feel important.The feeling of entitlement to special treatment.The immense need for continual feedback of how important she is.The feeling of superiority and its reinforcement from others.Strong reaction to rejection and disapproval, sometimes with intense rage.The lack of the capacity to mourn, a defense against depression.Calculating and conniving behavior to “maintain” supplies of continuous adulation.An impaired capacity for commitment.No capacity for self-focus or self-examination.“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves.”Phil. 2:3This article can be found at:https://charlesstone.com/the-narcissistic-pastor-10-signs-that-you-may-be-one/Other resources:https://unseminary.com/5-signs-youre-following-a-narcissistic-church-leader/https://careynieuwhof.com/episode212/For more information about the Healthy Church Podcast, find us at:http://www.HealthyChurchPodcast.ComOr find us on FaceBook.

Two great questions on which the boys pontificate in fineform. Yes, ZIP-R is "backwards" (rigid insulation interior tostructural sheathing) but that does not mean that it doesn't work; itdoes, just differently. So why don't we typically rain screen roofcladdings? The short answer is it always costs more, regardless of thetype of roof cladding. But you know the saying: vent until youcan't...NOTE: - An Apology: Pete keeps saying "vinyl siding" when he means"vinyl wallpaper" in terms of what many older homes see as newly addedcovering over failed/failing plaster... Oh, and we can endlesslyapologize for Steve's parting "jokes"...PETE'S RESOURCES:- "Calculating minimum thickness of rigid foam sheathing"NOTE: Martin Holladay has more than one seminal GBA blog on the topicof adding continuous exterior rigid insulation to meet code--and evenbetter--for greater energy efficiency and maintained moisturemanagement.- "Avoiding Wet Roofs:"https://www.jlconline.com/how-to/insulation/avoiding-wet-roofs_o &https://www.jlconline.com/how-to/insulation/avoiding-wet-roofs-part-ii_o
Episode #973 Ever wonder what staying stuck is actually costing you—not just financially, but emotionally and mentally? We're bringing back this episode because it struck a nerve with so many men. It's one of those conversations that hits differently the second time around—especially if you've been feeling that quiet pull to make a change but haven't moved yet. In this episode, we revisit a powerful concept that came out of a conversation with a high-level business consultant who uses a dead-simple method to get results: calculate the real cost of doing nothing. Not hypothetically—actually write it down. And not just for business, but for your marriage, your health, and your sense of purpose. You'll hear real-world examples of what men lose by hesitating—relationships, time with their kids, even businesses. And you'll get a straight-up challenge: write down the five core areas of your life and ask yourself, “What is inaction costing me here?” This isn't about guilt. It's about clarity—and then making moves that matter. If you're in a season where you're waiting for the “right time,” this revisit might be exactly what you need to hear today.

PACE, Fexco's leading aviation sustainability data and analytics platform, has expanded its product offering with PACE Airports and is announcing Christchurch Airport as its first customer. PACE has established itself as the market leader for aviation financiers and is trusted by the world's largest banks, like JP Morgan, and the second largest aircraft lessor in the world, SMBC AC, to inform them on their financed aviation emissions. Christchurch Airport is a global leader in sustainable airport management and a pioneer in the Airport Carbon Accreditation (ACA) program. It is the first airport in the world to reach level 4 in 2020 and to achieve level 5 accreditation in 2023. It is among only 18 other airports worldwide to achieve this rating. The airport chose PACE Airports so they can track, analyse and action live data rather than on an annual basis. Leveraging multiple new data points allows the sustainability team to have more accurate data-led conversations with airline operators and external stakeholders. Airports globally are challenged to understand and track their aviation-related emissions. One of the leading causes of this is a considerable lack of consistency within the industry in defining a standardised methodology that can be independently verified. Calculating carbon emissions is usually done on an annual basis at the end of the year, so the lack of real-time data inhibits airports from making actionable decisions to lower their carbon footprint. PACE Airports offers real-time aviation emissions calculations at the click of a button, allowing sustainability teams to focus on the actions rather than the calculations. In addition, banks can use PACE Airports to evaluate emissions in airport financing deals. Both banks and airports can rely on a single source of truth for emissions metrics to measure performance in sustainability-linked finance deals. PACE Airports tracks all commercial flight activity globally and calculates specific emissions based on over 10 billion data points, right down to the engine on the wing. It is highly configurable to allow airports to track specific runway taxi times and distances, enabling them to drill down into the minute details for highly accurate output data. Claire Waghorn, Sustainability Transition Leader at Christchurch Airport, said: "Christchurch Airport has always leaned into sustainability and innovation. We first started tracking our emissions in 2006, and we have continually challenged what more we can do in decarbonisation through innovation and adaptability. Our strategy has always been data-driven, and PACE unlocks a new level of insight and intelligence that is really exciting for us as we continue our sustainability journey. "At Christchurch Airport, our key focus on this sustainability journey has always been optimising our entire operations to reduce emissions; the insights from the PACE Airports platform now give us data to consider our aviation-related emissions across the entire airport operations." Bertie Murphy, CSO of Fexco Group, added: "Our vision at PACE is to be the independent aviation emissions source across the aviation value chain, trusted and relied upon by all stakeholders. Expanding into Airports is a natural next step in the evolution of our product. We are thrilled to welcome Christchurch Airport, a global leader in sustainability, as a customer. We are enthused to see the impact the data and insights from PACE are having at Christchurch Airport, supporting the team in delivering on their emissions reduction targets." PACE delivers up-to-date emissions data, covering over 99% of commercial flights, recording over 370,000 individual routes and over 10 billion flight data points, which are updated every 24 hours. PACE is trusted by the largest aviation financiers in the world, such as JP Morgan Chase, and SMBC AC, the second largest aircraft lessor in the world. See more stories here.

The federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requires employers to compensate non-exempt employees at least the minimum wage for each hour worked and pay them overtime (at 1.5 times the employee's regular rate of pay) whenever they work more than 40 hours in a workweek. The amount employees should receive in pay cannot be determined accurately without knowing the number of hours worked. This can be especially tricky when the employee is paid on a piece-rate basis or has waiting time or on-call time during the workweek.

I was having a recent conversation with a listener about calculating calories and macros. We were chatting about her dilemma with frequent dieting, calorie limitations, and macro calculations, and she was feeling pretty discouraged.While I love that there are plenty of tools and programs to help with this, it can be overwhelming and confusing to navigate. It's also never going to be something that is 100% spot on for you and YOUR goals! I think using a solid calories & macros calculator can be super beneficial (you can check out the one I recommend here).But…this tool isn't going to *magically* help you lose weight and create new habits!
